Starting a new blog

I am excited at starting a new blog that will focus on my fibre art and how more exciting that it is coinciding with the launch of SAQA Oceania blog hop.

Today I have put together two identical sample groups of native plants to test dye. I decided to be very disciplined (unusual for me) and numbered each sample and also glued a leaf into my dyeing journal. I want to see the difference of dyeing the leaves in iron and copper mordants. In addition I put together two pieces of silk noil for dyeing. In one I have trapped local plant material from the Snowy Mountains area. The second has leaves that I collected and dried on our recent trip that I called a ‘meandering trip’ along the Great Diving Range. Tonight they have been left to sit in the dye bath. I now need to be patient to see the results in a few days.  New task –  to work out how to  post photos onto the blog.
